A foul-mouthed teddy bear supplied one of the year's top comedy hits, courtesy of "Family Guy" mentor and Oscar host-to-be Seth MacFarlane, the film's director and co-writer who also supplies the voice of the title toy.

Magically brought to life when his owner was a youngster, Ted isn't happy when the fellow (played as an adult by Mark Wahlberg) considers moving his relationship with his girlfriend (Mila Kunis) to a more serious level. Joel McHale ("Community"), Giovanni Ribisi and Patrick Warburton also appear, and former "Flash Gordon" Sam Jones has an amusing cameo. DVD extras: "making-of"documentary; audio commentary by MacFarlane, Wahlberg and co-writer Alec Sulkin; outtakes. *** (R and unrated versions: AS, P, V) (Also on Blu-ray and Movies on Demand)
